[Kenwood] Re: TS-930 with Heil Pro-Set

Fri Oct 5 17:43:14 EDT 2007

Thanks for all the comments. I found from Heil that the adapter is 
indeed for the Kenwood but the audio level from the ProSet HC-4 mic 
element is very low. If the 930 processor is used, the mic works 
great. If I just use the mic gain level control, I have to set it all 
the way up to 9 on the dial before there is enough audio level. With 
the MC-80 a setting of the mic level at 5 is more than enough.
Bad Heil mic element? Maybe. Normal performance for the HC-4 DX 
element? Don't know yet. Will call Heil again and see what they say.
Thanks and 73, Dick KF4NS
